Stop trying to feed Gobert... that's just clumsy offense which are mostly negative possessions

I'll blame my adding him to my fantasy lineup, not that I'm complaining! (KG won't like reading this...)

Apologies for also adding Braun this week.

Finch has been a joke this year, lineups, how he fails to call timeouts, his offense, everything.

Rudy is gone.

6'5 kid who looks like he's 17 put both Rudy and Naz on posters tonight.

Team full of mental midgets.

What Braun did has been an automatic T for Edwards multiple times

The plays called right after coming out of timeout ended up in turnover/Gobert last minute shot lol

Did we have a game this bad last year? This one reminded me of the Suns game two years ago.

I just love being a fan of this team getting punked on national TV twice in one week.

Braun might as well have dropped his balls right on Rudy's face.
Why did we decide to keep this guy over KAT again?

Got damn that dunk was vicious! That's going to add to the Rudy hate train for sure. Hopefully, this lights a fire under the squad, Denver is actively punking us in this quarter and that was a massive exclamation mark.

Ant scored his 24th point with 5:20 left in the 3rd. What good is it for him to go off early and do nothing the rest of the way??

Kind of reminds of the year we got Butler and we were good but it didn't feel as fun as it seemed like it should have.

I don't think it will be this way for long but that's just my feeling in the first 5 games or so. I will feel better and enjoy the team more when we really start to find this teams particular grove.


We're 4 games into the season?

Yes we are. What I said still stands, we are coming off a huge high of an incredibly fun season. This current team hasn't matched that energy, it's an understandable situation and that I can feel totally differently in a couple of games, but so far, yea I don't feel the same excitement or energy and the team isn't playing to the same level which is again, understandable.

Coaches will get it figured out. We are seeing all sorts of different lineups.. losing naw next year will suck.

You had fun watching Shake Milton? We need to remember what the team was like last November 1st, not May 1st.

True but like I said, I'm still making the comparison anyway. Not saying this team can't turn into something as fun. Just right now, its a drop off in the entertainment factor.

Well our brilliant head coach sits him to start the first five minutes of fourth quarter and doesn’t put him in till the lead is basically gone. That can’t help keep him in rhythm.

Thank you Ant for driving on that last play and not taking another three in that scenario.
